Most wives and mothers honestly earn all
they spend. A woman who does her duty as
q wife and mother earns more than money
can pay for. 1t must be very humiliating to
a woman to have to humbly and trembIiIIgly
ask her husband for Che money she must have
for her actual daily expenses Any sensitive,
womanly woman must feel it something of
degradation to have to thus ask, or even coax,
for money given grudgingly and complain
ingly at last
knew of a woman who said once that the
only way she could get money from her hus-
band for other than her actual household ex-
penses, was by watching her chance and slyly
extracting bills from his purse when he wee
asleep or his coat was off! Imagine a wife
forced to such degrading act as thati Wo-
men are often compelled to practice mean,
niggardly, cruel economy in order to make
their expenses como within the limit fixed by
memorable husbands, who would furiOusly re
sent any interference with their own expeiidi-
lures.
l believe that this simple question of the
wife's allowance has wrecked the happiness of
many household. Men are so often blind
and unfeeling and unreasonable in this mat
ter. And of course there are women who
must have tight rein kept upon them be-
cause of their tendency to wilIful and woful
extravaganza. There is, fear. little chance
for happiness in a home having such q mis-
tress over it. But the majority of women can
safely be trusted. Let the husbands of wives
thus worthy trust them, and this trust viii
not often be abused.
My own personal experience7ha been that
money is safer with women than with men
Most women can beat G. man "all to pieces
making a bargain, and tie marketmen and
grocers seldom get ahead Of them, whereas
most men are careless purchasers. - Zellas

Don't blind the Babies.

Has it ever occurred to those who purchase
carriages for their babies, and who make it a
point to select the brightest colors they can
find for the screen that is interposed between
the ewes of the child and the sun, that they
are liable TO do irTeparable injury to the
vision of the little one? An infant generally
lies on its back, its eyes, of course, upturned
toward the bright covering above it, its gaze
being more intense the brighter the covering
and the more direct the rays OF the sun upon
II Nothing but injury can result from such
tbourbtless exposure. Any experienced
nurse saws there cannot be a doubt as to the
iuiu,-io11s effects of these bright so-called
shields upon the tender eyes of children.
Parents who are wise will select the darker
and denser shades, even though they may not
be as handsome or snowy in their eyes as
some of those which are more fashionable

Mistletoe.

Mistletoe does not come into the
market until week or to before
Christmas. There is not much mis-
tletoe stolen; those growing it take
too much care of it. The greatest
part of the stock found in the
markets comes from France and the
Channel Islands. The French mis-
tietoe is known by its yellowish
white berry. The Channel Islands
berry is more like that of the En-
glish mistletoe. The bulk of the
mistletoe cut in this country will be
brought out of the woods. 1t comes
largely from Herefordshire. The
chief portion of the supply which
comes across the Channel, we be-
lieve, is artifcially cultivated, prin-
cipally upon apple trees. The plan
adopted is to bruise the contents of
the berries into the crannies of the
bark of the trees selected. The mis-
tletoe thriyes best upon thorn and
apple trees. Artificial cultivation,
however, is by no means easy; and
the artificial raising of the spray is
practically left in the hands of
foreigners, who have proved unusu-
ally successful in the task. The
mistletoe is brought from abroad in
crates. 1t is almost impossible to
calculate the quantity of mistletoe
comes into London, but one esti-
mates we have heard places it as
high as 100 tons, which seems to be
exaggerated figure. English Paper.

We can use every part of our
nature-conscience, intellect, heart
and will-so as to reaflirm the old
verdict that all is vanity and vexa-
ton of spirit; or we can give our
selves up to the divine possibilities
within, and, living in them, find our
relationship to the Infinite Life that
has no limits.
The setting of a great hope is like
the setting of the sun. The bright
ness of our life is gone. Shadows of
evening fall around us, and the
world seems but dim reflection,
itself a broader shadow. We look
forward into the coming lonely
night. The soul withdraws into it.

is holy.
